UPPER MERION — It would have been extremely hard for Methacton High’s girls’ swim coach Ben Yoder to find any fault with his team’s performance Friday night at the annual Upper Merion Relay Carnival.

The Warriors not only won the team championship trophy, they won every event. Methacton finished with 79 points followed by Wissahickon (55), Upper Moreland (50), Upper Merion (36), Norristown and Gwynedd-Mercy Academy (31) and Phoenixville (29).

The win streak started when Sarah Furtek, Nicole Young, Corinne Blodgett and Kirsten Groff took first in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:55.46. Then, Jen Rees, Sarah Lebold, Kristen Wang and Groff teamed up to win the Grade 9-10 200 freestyle relay with a clocking of 1:45.85.

Next up was the 400 medley relay. Sarah Byrne and Brooke Dobbs joined with Lebold and Blodgett to post a winning time of 4:37.96. The Warriors kept the ball rolling when the foursome of Rikki Li, Becca Sykes, Young and Blodgett took first in the 200 free relay with a clocking of 1:49.14.

Methacton stayed strong in the second half of the meet — starting with a win in the 200 backstroke relay when quartet of Kristen Wang, Li, Lebold and Furtek clocked a 2:01.31. Then, the foursome of Rees, Byrne, Sykes and Blodgett kept the victory streak alive when they won the 200 butterfly relay with a time of 2:02.46.

In the 200 breaststroke relay, the Warriors’ team of Kristen Unangst, Byrne, Dobbs and Young claimed victory with a clocking of 2:19.53.

“My splits today were decent,” said Byrne, a freshman. “I like butterfly a lot and it was a good race. And, I like breaststroke. That’s my favorite.”

The next race was a bit different. Instead of a four-swimmer relay, it was a race featuring five competitors from each team -- the 500 freestyle relay. The race may have been different but the result was the same — a Methacton win. The Warriors’ quintet of Wang, Sykes, Groff, Lebold and Rees posted a winning time of 4:33.24.

“I’m really happy with our time,” said Groff. “Our goal was to go under five minutes so we did really well.”

In the meet’s final race, Methacton’s girls teamed with members of the Warriors’ boys’ team to win the mixed 400 freestyle relay. The quartet featuring Leon Lin, Ricky Weber, Young and Groff logged a 3:34.97.

“This week, we worked really hard in practice,” said Young, the team’s senior captain. “This meet was more about getting the team together and having fun before the dual meet season starts.”

Yoder said, “Not a bad start. I was surprised at a lot of our ‘B’ teams. Some of them placed in the top three or four here. We showed depth and strength. It was a really fun way to start the year.”

Methacton’s boys’ team followed a pattern similar to the girls’ team — up to a point.

The Warriors touched first in the first three events — the 200 medley relay, the Grade 9-10 200 free relay and the 400 medley relay. They touched first in the next event — the 200 free relay — but were disqualified because one of their swimmers was wearing two suits.

That’s when the tide turned. Wissahickon took first in the 200 backstroke relay and the 500 freestyle relay and Upper Moreland won the 200 breaststroke relay.

The combination of Wissahickon’s solid performances in every event and Methacton’s zero points from 200 free relay disqualification proved to be an equalizer. When the meet concluded, the Trojans and the Warriors were tied for first place with 63 points apiece. Upper Moreland was third with 55 followed by Upper Merion (40) and Norristown (26).
